Converting Posts Into Articles
For ease of use, I like to use NVU
(it's free, Open Source, and works like Dreamweaver) for this. It will convert
the BBC codes used in SMF posts over to HTML/PHP used by articles. Dreamweaver
and other WYSIWYG editors may work as well but I've not tested them.
1. Highlight (ctrl+a) and copy (ctrl+c) the post you wish to convert into an
article.
2. Open a new (ctrl+n) NVU html document using the settings below.
3. Make sure you are using the "Normal" (WYSIWYG mode) tab. Paste (ctrl+v) the
article into it.
4. Switch to the "Source" tab.
5. Highlight everything BETWEEN the body tags. Do not highlight the body tags
themselves. Copy (ctrl+c) the highlighted code.
6. In TP turn off all editors and create a new article OR if you use a TP editor
click on "Source" to use source (html/php) mode.
7. Paste (ctrl+v) the source code from NVU into the article. Save it and preview
it to make sure it's working properly. TP will automatically convert the html
source code back into BBC code. Adjust the Options of the article as necessary
to fit your site.
Enjoy!!!
